Who really gave the best performance on “Dancing with the Stars” during “Premiere Night“? We asked fans to respond in our poll at the end of the show, and they were divided pretty evenly three ways. Overall, they agreed with judges Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba about the top three performances, but disagreed about the order. Scroll down to see our complete poll results.

The best performance of the night according to the judges with a total score of 22 out of 30 was “The Bachelorette” star Charity Lawson, who danced a tango. She got sevens from Hough and Inaba and an eight from Tonioli — the only eight any contestant received that night. Tied for second place with sevens across the board from the judges for a total of 21 out of 30 were “Vaanderpump Rules” reality star Ariana Madix dancing another tango and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz with a cha cha.

But according to our respondents, it was Mraz who was the best dancer of the night with 27.42% of the vote. He was followed closely by Madix with 25.41%, and then came Lawson with 25.28%. No one else in our poll received even 4%, but there were other interesting results. Though he tied for the lowest judges’ score of the night (straight fours for a total of 12 out of 30), reality TV personality Harry Jowsey ranked fifth in our poll with 3.52%. He also managed to avoid the bottom two on “Premiere Night,” indicating that he has at least a moderate fan base backing him up.

Controversial football player Adrian Peterson had the exact opposite result. He tied for fifth place on the judges’ leaderboard, but he finished last in our poll, tied with model Tyson Beckford. Perhaps Peterson’s reputation precedes him. Football stars often do great on “DWTS” — four have won the Mirror Ball Trophy — but fans may be reluctant to support him. We’ll see if that leads to a surprise early elimination for him tonight or in the weeks to come.
